Why hasn’t Radiant Children blown up? The four dream-soul songs on Radiant Children’s Tryin’ EP are superior to almost everything the Internet, Janelle Monaé or Little Dragon have issued recently. Don’t believe me? Even cursory examinations of “Life’s a Bitch” and “Poke Bowl” will convince you that the London based trio has been unjustly overlooked.

Believe it or not, the Temptations’ new interpretation of the Weeknd’s “Earned It” is excellent.

Luciana Souza’s Book of Dreaming is too rarified for my blood. RIYL: Gretchen Parlato extreme tastefulness, Joni Mitchell.

Old dogs execute all manner of new tricks on a strange new tribute album. Billy Swan and Buzz Cason perform surprising interpretations of Buddy Holly songs on Billy & Buzz Sing Buddy. “Lookin’ For Someone to Love” is one of the project’s most conventional selections.

I’m disappointed that Ólafur Arnalds’ Re:member doesn’t possess the emotional resonance of the late Jóhann Jóhannsson’s work. RIYL: androids, Brian Eno, bleeps.
